Just ’cause.
Susie and her new calf. Susie doesn’t seem to be the most … careful of mothers, and her calf had managed to find his way into a completely different pasture. He was all alone, and in a lightly wooded area. Obviously, when he’s down on the ground almost dead, he looks a lot like a fallen log. So, it took us a while to find him. Once we did though, we put him and Susie in the calf pen with Avourneen and Kenzy. Thankfully he had recovered enough and seemed strong enough to let him and Susie back into the large pasture today.
The new calf. We’re pretty sure he’s a Dexter/Jersey cross, and he’s darker actually than a lot of our Jersey/Angus calves! His nose is white here because Kyle rubbed him down with DE. When I found him, he was covered in flies, and when Kyle put him in the calf pen he had maggots on him. Hopefully the DE will help that.
Not the greatest picture, but it give y’all an idea of how huge Susie’s udder is!
And I’ll end with a picture of my majorly fat calf, Kenzy. She’s … huge. Better a fat calf though than a skinny one!
